Nope. I get no rate other than what I pay. I either remove power demand or reduce the number of WH I used. I can not get a credit if I send more power than I consume.
I gladly pay MORE for clean energy. I went out and bought and installed solar connected to a grid tie inverter. But in reality I end up paying less because it significantly reduces my electrical bill as it runs the meter backwards during the day. In the middle of the summer with the AC cranking it makes up for 1/2 the electricity I use for the AC. so it will pay it's self back in about 3 more years. after that it's free money.
unfortunately most of my fellow countrymen are not smart enough to handle their money and do this. I have had friends look at me and not understand the whole payback thing. they get stuck on the "You paid $5000 to put solar on your house and you will pay an electric bill?" They cant understand that monthly bill reduction = money saved.
Which makes me sad, I though I had smarter friends.
You have one. Take the phone in both hands and smack it as hard as you can over the nearest hard object edge, in a motion trying to break it in 1/2.
Guarantee they will not recover any data from a phone you snapped the circuit board and smushed the battery so it started burning. But I also guarantee you will spend a few days in prison over the action. In the USA that action gets you waterboarded.
Or carry a bastardized phone designed by retarded engineers...
I have a Dell Streak, it has a bizzare version of the iphone dock connector, but it's wired differently and if you put in a iphone cable you pretty much blow up the phone.
So my phone has built in anti police search technology!
No, what would be nice is truecrypt for android. Let me give them the password to the plausible deniability section of the phone, while my nefarious uses section stays hidden.
She said that Siri and the Android versions are a complete failure... She is blind, and any information returned that needs you to use your screen is proof of the complete failure on the part of the system.
I recently though of a good use for siri and it failed. "press headset, siri, post to facebook herp derp"
I hate siri 1.0 because it removed the standard apple voice control that was in the 3GS and 4.0 that works when you dont have a internet connection. siri does not work when you have no net connection. so voice dialing or voice control of the music fails when out of service range.
Actually the Android fanbois foam at the mouth when I point out how androids voice control is seriously lacking. I should be able to set my android phone out of my reach and have a conversation with it only using the BT headset and the single button on it's side to activate the Voice control.
I hear that ICS fixed how bad the voice system is in android, but my current android phone running 2.3.3 is utterly useless even for voice dialing. it gives ZERO response to my command "Call home" I get no feedback other than the phone call starting. And calling my friend dave always fails if I say "call dave" as Android does the epic fail of displaying a list of daves to choose from, and then home,work,cell choices. Hello? tell me in a voice in my ear and listen for my response.
complete epic fail if I have to look at a screen and touch the phone.
No it's not. because I cant make tellme work without touching the phone.
Siri I can do a long press on my BT headset and get her to work. Tellme will not work this way.
And both are epic fails as they do not return all information in speech form. any response that is a "look at these results on the screen" is an epic fail on any speech system.
Baking your own bread makes HUGE changes in diet. Most bread in the store has a metric buttload of sugars added simply because they can. home made bread has t he minimum needed and it is usually consumed by the yeast.
Want to make that baked bread better? slow rise in the fridge overnight. the yeast will consumer more sugars and add in a lot more flavors. Sourdoughs are the best for you.
Want to find the fattest people in america? they all have two things in common.
1 - they eat fast food constantly. 2 - when they are not eating fast food, they are eating pre-processed food like TV dinners, or other ready to eat foods.
I have yet to find any obese people that are eating fresh fruits and veggies. The crap in cans does not count as that all has added salt and sugar.
It's simple. eat only fresh meat, veggies and fruits. But you have to prepare it yourself, or it must come from a restaurant that starts with ONLY fresh ingredients.
Guarantee you will lose weight if that is the only change you make to your diet.
"people under 30 who really dont do anything with their computers but websurf don't use towers. tablets and notebooks. small notebooks."
Fixed that for you. Every person I know under 30 that actually uses a computer has a tower. they need to do things like Render 3d GFX for static images or movies, high end photography, video production. even the CAD/CAM geeks have a tower.
I know plenty of under 30 professionals that actually use a computer to the point that they need a tower, It seems you don't, you might want to hang around smarter people.
Sorry but the 8 core FX kicks the crud out of the quad core i7 that is the same clock speed. I actually USE a pc for video editing rendering and 3d rendering and the new 8 core machine with one FX processor is kicking the arse of the i7 machine.
Granted i'm actually using multi threaded software unlike most people, but saying that the i7 is the end all to computing performance is not true.
Actually my choice is get the kid a 32" HDTV with skype built in. a lot easier except for the banging on the screen part.. LCD's are not as durable as plasmas.
The legal system is a street gang. They are allowed to run rampant, and when they "accidentally" do this to an innocent person they are not liable for anything at all.
The Legal system should be required to pay for 2X the actual damages caused for every innocent person railroaded. Sat in jail for 3 years and lost your job? If you made $50K a year, you get $100K for every year you would have had that job. so call it a cool $20 million that is tax free and call it fair.
On top of this, law enforcement found to have been overzealous lose their jobs and are personally liable. Cops need to be afraid of making a mistake.
Going to be as much of a steaming turd as Duke Nukem Forever was? Honestly, a lot of these much delayed sequels are turning out to be a waste of time for players.
A tablet is easier to make baby drool proof. a tablet can be slit behind a piece of plexiglass and the kid can drool all they want or even rub snot on it. 20 minutes with plexi, pieces of wood and some glue and you can easily make a holder for in the crib.
Tracking is really slow. it should be tracking so fast that you dont get the jerky motion. Add in predictive aiming and you have something that may get you a job for life working at a military contractor.
Yes I did, and it was hokey at best. The Gorillaz are more convincing on stage than that badly rendered 2 pack. All the closeup images look like he is a video game character..

The resulting battery fire will take out that sd card.

There are terrorists hiding behind every bush in your neighborhood, waiting to go through your wifes panties.
They hide everywhere, just waiting for you to turn your back. Hurry! give up your rights so mother government can protect you!

Thanks moron dell engineers!
There are an awful lot of gun apps....
Just sayin'......

I can. It's called riding a motorcycle.
but a friend of mine gave me the best case.
She said that Siri and the Android versions are a complete failure... She is blind, and any information returned that needs you to use your screen is proof of the complete failure on the part of the system.
I recently though of a good use for siri and it failed. "press headset, siri, post to facebook herp derp"
the response... I cant do that.
Fail.

another epic failure of cloud crap.

Only if you are dumb and patent them. Do clinical trials under the ":trade secret laws".
Calories in 1/4 pound of good ground beef = 244.
Calories in a home made bun = 120.
Calories in a Mcdonalds 1/4 pounder... 510
146 extra calories... It's not in the catsup, onions and lettuce.
When you eat crap, you eat a lot of extra calories that are not there in home made food.

Crib mount an ipad or use an ipad arm. all done, easier, cheaper, faster.
If you are anti apple, then any tablet that has a front facing camera.
